Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bake cakes and allow them to cool completely.
  • While the cakes and baking and cooling, prepare the frosting and ganache.
  • Place one cake on a serving dish.
  • Use a spatula to spread icing on top of the cake.
  • Place the other cake on top of the icing and press gently.
  • Cover the entire cake smoothly in icing.
  • Unwrap Kit Kats and stick them along the side of the cake fully.
  • Spread thick ganache on top of the cake. This will look like fake mud.
  • Make the pink pig and other body parts out of fondant. You could even do this a day in advance and save time.
  • Place these pieces on top of the cake and press them gently into the ganache mud.
  • Sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top of the cake and along the bottom of the cake.
  • Spread some ganache randomly on top of the pigs to make them look messy like they are truly enjoying themselves in the mud. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Please note that the fondant figures will become a little sticky due to the moisture in the refrigerator.
